The Olympics is a festival of images as much as it is a celebration of sports, and the Beijing games have already produced a number of memorable ones, from Michael Phelps' ecstatic celebration after his first gold to Liu Xiang crawling in agony on the track at the Bird's Nest.

Beijing-based photographer Toomanytribbles, has been covering the games from a spectator's perspective, her Flickr photostream features memorable images of Olympic venues, spectators, performers and even the Olympic flame attempting to consume the moon. They are of a different vein from typical media coverage of the Olympics and well worth a look.
